As per usual, I nominate Dead Sara, In This Moment, and Lissie Maurus for women in rock.

Killing Joke, Talking Heads, Devo, Foo Fighters, Faith No More in punk/alternative.

Nevermore, Dio, Dream Theater, Devin Townsend in metal.

Rush, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Monkees for classic rock.

Let's see how many of these get seconded.

2nd Killing Joke, Talking Heads, Devo, Foo Fighters, Dio, Rush, Stones, The Who, The Monkees

[lordkiev]

I will also second The Monkees, because that sounds HILARIOUS.

[twain]

I also nommed The Who and will third Killing Joke, Stones and The Monkees.

Of course putting Bieber in Women in Rock isn't right. It would imply that Bieber is rock.

[evilzerg_r]

punk: Offspring
Metal: Andrew W.K., Korpiklaani,
Classic: Metallica, Queen, Steve Vai
Women: don't know any

If something doesn't fit into genre, exclude it.
upd:

women: Tarja Turunen

2nd Offspring, Metallica, Queen

How do you not know any women rockers?

[evilzerg_r]

Don't know if they are rockers. Of course, I know from your list Janis Joplin, Diana Ross, Cher, Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Bjork, but I cannot associate them with rock. These are jazz, blues, r&b, pop artists for me. I'm not a big specialist of music genres and how they cross or include each other.

[khiron1416]

Janis can definitely be rock, and Bjork can definitely be alternative

[franklanguage]

Second Bieber for Women in Rock. Also second Devo and the Who in classic rock.

Also Kate Bush, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift for women in rock.

Nominate Frank Zappa and Jefferson Airplane in classic rock.

[blozor]

Ill second Kate Bush and Taylor Swift.

[twain]

I third Kate.

[blozor]

Im not a big Taylor Swift fan, but I think her social influence has been pretty positive lately.

Okay, so I put a little more thought into this than I probably should have.

[bart_calendar]

That's fine!

[blozor]

Can I put a negative endorsement for Skynyrd and The Dead?

[facecat]

lol. Yes but I don't know what good it will do.
